Want to implement EVA in mg5_aMC_v2_6_1

Hi,

Well everything is possible obviously but in practise this means that you have to implement (and validate it) yourself.
So in practise, I would say no (especially since 2.6.1 is not running anymore on my development machine so it is impossible to help -- additionally 2.6.1 is out of support).

Cheers,

Olivier

This does not come (at least at first glance from looking at the run_card.dat) pre-installed with the Effective Vector Approximation (EVA), and I was wondering if there is a way for me to implement the EVA in this version of Madgraph? I cannot update to a newer version of Madgraph without risking my ability to connect Madgraph to Pythia (it's a long story there).

Hi Andrew,

At the moment, there is no support for parton showers with EVA. Therefore, creating a parallel installation of mg5 that supports EVA should not be an issue (given what you wrote).

good luck!
